A Blistering Soul

Music and food are not that far apart.

Food pleases the mouth and music the ears, both of which have their pros and cons.

For food takeaway is the bad, and saturated in oil. For music the superficiality of pop music with auto-tune and dubbed sound made it lose character.

What comes around does go around.

An exception to this rule, in the music sphere at the very least is Adele, an English singer-songwriter who has revived the bluegrass feel in music, and popular music that steps out, against the grain from all the Britney’s of the world (not that the original is that bad).

Gripping the music charts all over the world in a stranglehold, Adele’s unique, husky but as beautiful as a diamond voice makes you want to listen, actively, not passively.

While she has been receiving acclaim for more than this year, it seems her rise has been the most prominent with hit singles “Rolling in the Deep”, “Someone Like You” and now 

“Set Fire to the Rain” which is essentially a ripping combination of the above two mentioned.

In an age where blonde and thin is the new black, Adele is the antidote to these “singers”, she is curvy, naturally gorgeous and a breath of fresh air.

But getting back to her voice, she sings of love, loss and every emotion felt between on her latest offering; 21.

Just for the fact she is different, Adele is worth listening to, but aside from that her vocals that interchangeably differ between roaring and vulnerable pulls one listener to a tryst, an experience of music, clearly missing in the past decade or so.
